    There have been talks. Too much smoke not just from him but nothing close yet.

    Woj or Shams will likely break that.

    Possible teams who may want ryan in a three way:

    Nets - dont have crap unless the knicks want lin back lol
    Lakers - he doesnt fit in with the moves theyve been making recently trying to get younger
    Suns - too cheap/poor
    Sacramento - lol zach randolph is too fat to play in the nba. Just give us a protected pick and we are set. I guess if they like that skal kid maybe not.
    Bulls
    Pistons
    Bucks - they have a lot of forwards, but A guy like Ryan Anderson could really space the floor for giannis. Problem is they are probably too stupid and cheap to realize this and pay for it.
    Hawks - too cheap, i think they are tanking
    Heat - dragic? Do they believe in tyler johnson?
    Wiz -The problem is I can't see them justifying paying Ryan Anderson $12 million more than Markieff morris because it would probably be a straight up trade for the two. Markieff can already stretch the floor. Ryan would be nice to have next to wall.
    Blazers - the problem is i cant see the knicks getting too thrilled about harkless even though their hand is forced and something is better than nothing, or worse, a buyout.
    Jazz - would the knicks run favors at center for one year? Someone has to take back burks as well (probably the rockets if the knicks dont want him)

    After analyzing each team, I think the best trading partners for the Rockets are:
    Pistons
    Jazz
    Blazers -- they should want him next to lillard
    Bucks -- they should want him the most
    Bulls
    Heat
    Magic

    I don't even care who we get. Just so long as we trade Ryan Anderson. He was so unfathomably awful throughout the Playoffs. I'm not sure I've ever felt such disdain for a Rocket who is probably a really solid human being.

    When people actually play good defense on him he can't do anything to save his life. He's an open three point shooter that's it.

    It's less playing good defense on him and more teams focus all of their attention on taking away Harden's game and hardens game is getting his shooters open looks.

    In the regular season teams don't scout and work as hard to do it, but in the playoffs they go above and beyond to do it.

    Also, the passing game is so important in today's NBA. Harden is probably able to get Ryan Anderson a crisp, clean pass in the regular season, but it's harder to get that same pass off in the playoffs that Ryan is used to so he has to take that extra time to catch it and shoot it. As long as he does not rush, its fine... but teams close out like really crazy fast in the playoffs so sometimes you have to rush.

    The passing game is hella underrated when it comes to shooting.

    When you hit someone right in the shooting pocket, I would argue that is worth as much as being confident. Your natural reaction is just to shoot before you can even think about it.

    Yeah he was arguably decent for his contract during the regular season. Playoffs, it was no longer arguable. Disappeared into nothing.

    ya rather than try and figure out the conundrum of his inability to hit a shot in toycen, i'd much rather just have him and his p***y aura off the team altogether. let some other franchise try to fix his head

    I'm willing to give the Lakers Ryan Anderson and a 1st rounder for Corey Brewer and his goat.

    Also, if we keep Ryan Anderson, I'm assuming he'll have to change his jersey number so that CP3 can have it? I vote they change Ryan Anderson's number to the poo emoji. Can they do that?

    Was the poo emoji already taken?

    Hmm....
    33. C is the third letter of the alphabet. C C = Ca Ca. The poo emoji of numbers. Good.

    Of course he will. But can he also give Ryan Anderson the poo emoji? That's the real question.
